Git database with bitmap index

Data retrieval team at source{d} process lot of data from git repositories. Most of the key components in our workflow like engine, gitbase, mysql-server are implemented in Go. This talk will go through the story how we embedded "pilosa" (distributed bitmap index) in our SQL frontend for git repositories.
- Why we decided to use bitmaps as indexes
- How we got to the point where we are (we have embedded pilosa's server implementation inside mysql server implementation)
- What problems we came across and how we solved them.
